Atlanta Braves Aim to Right Road Woes Against Miami Marlins: Series Preview

July 8th, 2013 at 4:17 PM By Cody Fields

The Atlanta Braves have been terrible on the road recently, and they look to correct that with a three-game series against the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park.

The Braves, who are coming off a home series loss to the Marlins and a road loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, have lost 25 of their last 36 home games. Their National League East lead over the Washington Nationals was trimmed to four games on Sunday. The Marlins, meanwhile, just suffered a three-game sweep at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals and reside in the NL East basement.

Who's chopping:

Brian McCann has an eight-game hitting streak working, during which he is hitting a ridiculous .594 with two homers and seven RBIs.

Freddie Freeman and his .306 average have landed him the All-Star Game Final Vote. Go vote for him at mlb.com.

All-time Marlins' win and strikeout leader Ricky Nolasco was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend. That's enough to get him in the chopping category.
